1 I confess that I am scared I will not lose anymore weight because it has slowed down so much 2 I confess I am now addicted to exercise and shopping 3 I confess that I am scared that I am no longer invisible to strangers because I feel very socially awkward and it we easier being a b***h 4 I confess that I went to a party with co workers the other night and I felt confident and sexy for the first time in forever 5 I confess that I do cheat and have wine, chocolate, chips and carbs at least once a week but in small portions and one more 6 I confess that I am scared that at almost 4 months out I can easily eat 1200 calories a day

Starting weight 244.5 Today's weight 192 52.5 lbs gone forever! Surgery 7/3/13

Had my surgery July 3 down 44.5 pounds as of today! Feel great!

Buying a pair of size 12 jeans and a large dress from old navy. I use to be a 22. Also I started the couch to 5k program and today I completed week 4. I tried a new spot for running and most of it was uphill and I did it! Felt amazing afterwards!!!!! I am 8 weeks out and down 44.5 pounds.

My doc said 2 weeks. I swam at 2 weeks after making sure my incisions were healed which they were, and went swimming. No issues.

So I am one month out and have lost 29 lbs so far which I'm really happy about! I went to panera yesterday and ordered a soup. When sake what side I wanted I said no side. So I went over to pick up my food and the guy says are you sure you don't want a side. I said yes I'd just throw it out anyway and that would be a waste. He said why? I said bc I had weight loss surgery. I'm not ashamed of it at all. Then he says to me I'm sorry to hear that. Wait, what????? I just left but I should've said it's the best thing I have ever done for myself!!! I'm so mad that I'm letting this bother me and the fact that I should've said I wasn't sorry at all!!!!! Sorry just venting!

OMG I LOL several times reading this!

I can't stomach the taste of cheese. So salty! Cant stand it!

My doctor told me a month. I will be a month next Wednesday. I cheated and had a half glass of wine last night and tolerated it fine. I was tipsy afterwards but only for a very short time. I think moderation is key here. I don't think we have to give up everything that is "bad" for us but to do things in moderation. I didn't get fat by moderation. I got fat by overindulgence.

This sounds like depression to me. Please call your doctor and ask for help. It happens. Good luck.

The gas pain was the worst pain for me. On day two I regretted the surgery bc of how awful my gas pain was. Then it was better every single day. I never had surgical pain though. My c sections were much worse pain wise. But that gas pain whew...glad I made it through bc I wasn't sure I was going to! Lol!

July 3 here. Down 23 lbs and super excited by that! Hard to get in my liquid and protein also! The water is a little easier now but still have a tough time some days. Today is the first day I made it to 56grams of protein and I'll have a yogurt before bed putting me at my 60gram goal. Hate the protein shakes so much! Only can tolerate syntrax nectar fuzzy naval with orange juice. Everything else I have tried sux! Even the ones I liked preop I can't stand! I also hate every calcium citrate I've tried so far! Yuck!!!!!

If you are not peeing much it means you are dehydrated. Drink drink drink and call your doctor!
